Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomNothing to not like but could just do with a dressing table in bedroom for doing hair/makeup etc but just a preference not a dislike
Lovely cottage to stay in - clean, comfortable and in the middle of Bowness.

United KingdomTelly control not easy. Wouldn't say good for wheelchair. Other than that no probs.
Location pretty good, not too far from jetties. Bus stop just at end of the road. Plenty of decent eating houses to cater for most tastes. Good stay, would recommend.

United KingdomToilet bit of squeeze in the bathroom, but I understand this is being addressed. It's not a massive problem if only staying for a few days, more so if it was a permanent residence. Would have been nice to have had a fuller hand wash in the bathroom. One use and it was empty. Shop is nearby, so we bought one. Some property's we've stayed at provide tea, coffee, sugar and even a welcome bottle of wine or biscuit basket, which I think is a nice gesture. A lovely brew just to relax and unwind after the journey sets you up for a nice holiday.
Perfect location for touring the area. Lovely clean property with everything we needed for a few days' stay. Had no problem parking near the house. Our daughter joined us for 1 night and she managed to park at a nearby car park with no problem. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within a short walk. Comfy beds and fluffy towels, lovely.

ChinaIf I have to name one thing that could improve, it is the shower set up. The control on the wall is a bit odd to use, the water flow is not very strong and comfortable enough. Don't get me wrong, it is still at least 7 out of 10 with other aspects being 8 or 9.
Location is great. Very convenient, short walk to the pier and bus stop is just right beside. The house is clean and cozy, it has everything you'd need for a family short stay.

United KingdomLiving room got a little chilly despite the central heating, probably due to the snow fall. I would take fire logs for next time.
Beautiful cottage and a fantastic location. Communication with the owner was fantastic and he even posted back to me a jacket I had left behind. Whilst we were there we had a massive snow fall, the owner was very quick to check we were ok. Excellent all round.

SpainThe bathroom was very small and the shower was a little dated and not so easy to use ( as we have stayed here before we knew about it ) Also we would have liked just a sheet as an option as it was too hot in the quilts .The heating appeared to be on constantly in the dining area and other rooms and it was 30 degrees outside ( September !!) so not ideal
The location and the fact that I could park our car outside

United KingdomYou couldn't get the WiFi in one of the upstairs bedrooms, the room with the 2 single beds, however, this is apparently a common problem in the area as the walls in the cottages are very thick.
The cottage was just beautiful. It had everything you need. The location was excellent. Right in the middle of everything. The photos don't actually do it justice as it is much bigger in real life. I will definitely be returning. It was very good value for money.
